The Wireless System

The wireless system uses small transmitters which are connected to a leak sensor. The sensors are powered by a lithium battery which has a normal life of 3 years under normal conditions. The system is very intelligent and should a battery start to decline, a signal is sent to to control equiment which gives a warning well in advance of the battery life expiring. The system is supervised and each sensor sends a signal to the control unit periodically showing that it is active and is in place. Should a sensor become disconnected, or damaged, it transmits a signal to that effect. If the sensor fails to transmit its presence for a certain amount of time, then the control gives a warning that something is wrong.

The stopcock valve can still be operated manually, as in the wired system.

The cost of the wireless components is much higher than in the wired system, but the installation is less intrusive, resulting in a system which is more expensive, but is problem free in the installation and offers more flexibility. (see how it works)
